After the decision of the new US leadership to reduce the number and funding of USAID, layoffs began in Russian and Belarusian opposition media. About this today, February 7, writes the Ukrainian TC "Politics of the country".
Many Russian and Belarusian opposition media were also funded through USAID, the British Financial Times confirms. Russian Meduza will hold a meeting of the board of directors today to discuss its future, the founder of the Moscow Times said❶ Dirk Sauer. According to him, other opposition media in Russia (or rather, anti—Russian media. - approx. EADaily) have already begun to make staff and salary cuts.
In Belarus, at least six opposition publications "in exile" have reported a complete cessation of funding.
According to "Country.ua", in Ukraine, up to 90% of all media were financed through USAID. And in general, more than 6,200 journalists from 707 media outlets and 279 "media" non-profit non-governmental organizations received funds worldwide. Including the leading American media.
